Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The emberassing defeat

“Wait, does that mean that dragons really existed and that you two and Natsu were really raised by dragons?”, said one member.

Other members of the guild also said something along those lines.

“Did none of you believe me, when I said that I was raised by a dragon?”, said an enraged Natsu, who was ready to fight everyone else, but was held back by Lisanna.

“Sorry Natsu but can you blame us, after all everyone has heard of dragons only inside stories and legends.”, said Macao.

The other members agreed with Macao, which made Natsu even angrier, to the point that Lisanna needed Elfmans help to hold him back.

“No wonder you two were so similar like them. You two are the children of Challot and Emrissen, the two dragons known as the twin calamities, aren´t you?”, exclaimed Ophiuchus while slamming her hands on the table.

Everyone went silent again, what kind of title was that and what kind of dragons were they for having that kind of title?

Aversia and Zeldaris on the other hand were quite surprised by her words, they never imagined that she had encountered them once, but at the same time a saddened look appeared on their faces.

Even after more than 5 years the two of them were not over what happened and they weren´t sure if they would ever be able to get over it.

The same was true for Natsu, he just works through it in another way.

“I never thought that I would be able to hear that name again. Ophiuchus the fact that you know the title that my mother Emrissen and Zeldaris´s mother Challot have means that you have meat them before. Could you please tell me more about it?”, said Aversia who was able to gain control over her emotions faster than Zeldaris.

“W… Well how should I put it?”, said Ophiuchus who was getting nervous and tried not to look into the eyes of Aversia and Zeldaris.

“Let me guess, you were easily defeated while fighting one of them and she wasn´t even trying.”, said Zeldaris, because that was the usual reaction from someone that was defeated that way.

Zeldaris and Aversia heard many stories about that from Metalicana, Grandeeney, Skiadrum and Weisslogia, including their own defeats against them.

Some of the members became stunned after hearing that.

“You could say it that way.”, Ophiuchus became even more nervous.

“Mom or aunt Challot defeated you by accident before the battle even began didn´t they?”, said Aversia while staring at Ophiuchus.

“Ma… Maybe? They may have begun to argue who would be fighting me and one of them may have accidentally hit me with their tail, which was enough to almost kill me.”, said Ophiuchus whose face became bright red.

The sound of a few people spitting out whatever they were eating, or drinking could be heard, and no one could blame them, well except those that sat across them.

None of them could even imagine how powerful they had to be in order to do that, Elfman, Lisanna, Mirajane, Erza and Gray were even more shocked, since they knew Ophiuchus original form.

“Well that definitely sounds like them. And I guess that the two begun to argue even more when they realized that you were already defeated and, in the end, decided to fight each other, because they had nothing better to do?”, said Zeldaris, who was trying to hold back his laughter because he could imagine how this must have look like.

Aversia also had to hold back her laughter.

Ophiuchus face became even more red, and tears could be seen on the edges of her eyes.

“There is nothing to be ashamed of. Their title as the twin calamities is justified and believe me there are people that have suffered more than you have, and I mean way more.”

This didn´t really calmed Ophiuchus down and Zeldaris and Aversia tried for the next 40 minutes to calm her down.

After finally calming her down and telling some other stories about their mothers and the other dragons that lived at the village.

 

Over the next few days quite a few things happened.

Mirajane started to wear a dress, although her personality had changed drastically since the incident and nothing represented this better than the changes of her clothes.

Because they became more girly and more colorful, something that the old Mirajane would have hated beyond everything else and would have beaten everyone that tried to make her wear something like this.

The dress that she wore was a sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt.

It was a lot like the dress that Lisanna wore normally.

Her hair was no longer in a ponytail and was instead freely flowing down her back up to her waist, the two bangs that framed her face remained.

The strand that used to cover her forehead was now bound in a short, upward ponytail.

Mirajane also got an offer to model for the magazine Sorcerer Magazine from one of the reporters that worked for the magazine and were constantly on the search for new models.

Mirajane accepted the offer and would have her first shoot at the beginning of the next month.

Funny enough the same offer was given to Zeldaris because the magazine really needed more male models.

But Zeldaris had no interest in being a model and thought that the reporter was annoying.

Aversia on the other hand took the opportunity to tease Zeldaris at any opportunity with it.

Ophiuchus and the others could only watch as the two half dragons fought against each other and used everything that they had.

Ophiuchus was accepted as a member of the guild from day one, although she couldn´t officially be accepted and registered as a member of the guild since she was a celestial spirit and the rules of both the celestial world and of the council forbid spirits to join a guild as a member.

But that didn´t mean that the other members of the guild thought of her as anything but a member of the guild, no matter what the rules said.

The second thing that happened was that Makarov was mostly lost in thoughts and many members became concerned, since they had never seen the guild master like this.

Many thought that he was thinking about the situation of with the council and with Phantom Lord.

The last thing that happened was that Aversia and Zeldaris asked Erza to help them train, which shocked everyone because being taught and or trained by Erza was like going through a course from hell.

 Erza was just way to strict and harsh.

But that was exactly what the two wanted since they were used to the hellish training from their mothers.

As for why they asked Erza for help, it was because they noticed that they still needed to improve their abilities a lot.

Erza happily agreed to help them and put the two through probably her most harsh and cruel course to this day.

The training would exhaust a normal human fast and would exhaust them both mentally and physically and even Aversia and Zeldaris were exhausted after finishing for the day.

The focus of the training was to increase their skills with weapons and their ability to control multiple objects and magics at the same time.

Both Aversia and Zeldaris were able to fight with several different weapons.

It was Vulcan who taught them because of two reasons, the first was to improve their abilities as a black smith, because they had to understand a weapon, how it functions and how it feels to be able to forge it; the second was so to increase their options in battle.

But of course, both had their favorites, Aversia´s favorite weapon was the odachi, while Zeldaris´s favorite weapon was the bow.

Erza made them fight against her, the two were of course in their human form.

They fought multiple times and every time they used different weapons and every single time Erza destroyed them.

Compered to her the two half dragons looked like bloody beginners and couldn´t even reach her level.

Her level of skill and the experience in using these weapons was second to none and made her look like she was dancing through the battlefield.

As for the second point, Erza was able to give them a few good pointers, but again made them go through a hellish training where they had to control multiple flames and or fire weapons through an obstacle course, which was created by Gray and Laki.

The two had to fly multiple flames through the course in a certain time and without touching anything.

Failing meant to fight Erza in a 1v1 battle.

In the end both laid on the ground and were completely exhausted.

They almost run out of magic power, a thing that happened only a few times in the past and believed that it would not happen again.

But it showed them how much more they had to improve themselves and where their abilities really stood.

Erza, aka the drill sergeant from hell, was also exhausted, although she was able to beat the two every single time, they weren´t as easy to defeat as she made it look like and their physical abilities were still higher than Erzas.

The three of them decided to enjoy a good meal in the guild and headed back in.

Inside the guild they saw a group of four people standing before the guild master.

“Hey, old man, tell me, when are you finally going to make me the next guild master?”
